BIKE LOANS

What is CycleBoost e-bike rental scheme?

The cost of trying cycling out an e-bike can be off-putting, especially if you don’t know whether cycling will meet your daily travel needs.

CycleBoost offers Sheffield residents the chance to rent an e-bike, charger and accessories for just £75 a month. All of the servicing and maintenance is included in the bike loan – when the brake pads need changing, we do that. When the gears need tuning, we do that too. Every three months we’ll ask you to pop your bike in for a check-up and, in between checks, if you have any problems with your e-bike, all you need to do is return it to us and we will swap it out for another.

Our bikes have a powerful and reliable Bosch drive system that will transport you up the hills of Sheffield with ease.

It’s a great way to try out an e-bike without having to lay out lots of cash on a bike you’re unsure about.
